Nothing against leaks, because they satisfy everyone’s curiosity to a certain extent, on the contrary. As you know, I know that quite well myself. Much of this more current information also came from kopite7kimi and it was also the case that they seemed to contradict each other in sometimes rapid chronological succession. Now, you can of [...]

In today’s Workvlog I show you the Raijintek Paean Premium as a mod, which I already wrote a review about. Today’s build gets the “Navy” theme. I was inspired by the MSI Z690 Torpedo in the EK X version. So there will be many highlights again today and I don’t want to spoil too much – but the tubing was a real [...]
Why do you think there was no HD 7830, but the rather unloved HD 7790? We had reported in a news item back then that we came across a board during the test of a new Radeon HD 7850 in the rare singleslot design, which didn’t contain a normal Pitcairn chip with 1024 shader units, but a weaker engineering sample with only 768 shader units [...]
With the TC200, Corsair responds to the community and fulfills their wish for a slightly wider chair with a higher load, thus creating a kind of gaming throne, at least visually. In addition to the usual features like the Class 4 gas pressure spring, the steel frame, adjustable armrests and dual-wheel casters, Corsair still relies on the racing [...]
Teamgroup has been offering some of the fastest memory modules for the platform with the T-Force DELTA DDR5 kits almost since the launch of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs. At least on paper, other manufacturers have recently introduced even faster kits, but XMP specifications are not everything, as we know. Today, we will take another close look at [...]
So far you know me mainly from the forum as a helper with hardware problems. Since similar questions often come up, Andreas (ApolloX) asked me if we could create some tutorials. I’ll start here with an article about the possibilities Windows itself offers for troubleshooting. If you would like to create tutorials as well, please feel free to [...]
They do still exist, the graphics cards that also stand out optically and technically in equal measure. You can’t reinvent the wheel, but you can achieve one or two performance improvements via the tires. This realization probably also prompted Gigabyte to turn the cooling principle upside down in the truest sense of the word. With the new [...]
Gradually, FSR compatible games will receive the update to FSR version 2.0. What was initially seen as AMD’s desperate answer to Nvidia’s DLSS is supposed to be a serious opponent in the new version. Since there is already a lot of content on this topic, I can already spoil in the introduction that even as a GeForce user I would like [...]
With the KFA2 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, I’m happy to fulfill the desire to once again test a single card that isn’t at the very top of its already hefty price range within its performance class. At currently less than 1150 Euros, it is already back in rather “normal” regions, because just under a year ago we were already at just [...]
In the meantime I have finished building the measuring station and have also finally solved the amplifier part for the headphones and the measuring microphone with a Creative Soundblaster AE-9. Of course, that’s exactly what I’ll be reporting on today. By the way, I also exposed the used technology to the graphics card glitches and was [...]
Today I want to talk about a guilty pleasure of mine, the overclocking of RAM, more precisely DDR5 and its timings. There is a strange difference between the specifications of JEDEC, the standard’s committee, and the Intel specifications of the Alder Lake CPUs of the 12th generation. And even though the exact functionality of the individual [...]

The latest rehash of the Ducky ONE comes with a whole flood of new features that are almost unnoticeable at first glance. Many improvements took place under the hood and make the new full-size keyboard a true jack-of-all-trades. What is also immediately noticeable in this concrete model: it polarizes! Bright yellow, Cherry MX-Brown switches and [...]
The new Eiswolf 2 from Alphacool is actually no stranger, however it too now uses the re-design of the Aurora Acryl GPX-A ice block along with better flow and lower temperatures across the entire block. That’s exactly why, after testing the waterblock with a Sapphire RX 6950XT Nitro+ Pure, I also tested the approx. 245 euro expensive AiO [...]
This was already true 10 years ago: Passively cooled mid-range graphics cards have become rare exotics. Often enough, the power loss to be dissipated and thus also the heat generated are too great. Passively cooling these cards requires not only a sophisticated cooling solution, but also the right operating environment. Powercolor has not changed [...]
